Takeovers: An Economic and Ethical Perspective

Norman Barry

Chapter 6 in Business Ethics, 1998, pp 117-147 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The 1980s was the age of the takeover boom in Anglo-American economies; although it was by no means the most extreme example in the USA’s economic history.1 It was an era in which considerable disruption was caused to economic organizations; in plant relocation, management restructuring, considerable layoffs and localised unemployment. In ethical terms it was thought to be an example of rampant self-interest and unrestrained individualism.
